    Magic Spray

    Candice Romo and her Dallas BFF debut clever line to help modern moms

    Your nightly glass of vino beckons and bedtime has long passed. But Junior adamantly refuses to hit the sack, citing monsters under the bed or some other such horror for his inability to sleep. Sound familiar?

    Fellow parents Candice Romo (yes, that Romo) and Hollie Siglin feel your pain, which is why they launched Hawk+Sloane to "help others conquer parenthood ... one spray at a time."

    Named for the founders' sons, Hawk+Sloane is a line of six sprays for everything from deodorizing diaper pails (Stinky Spray) to calming anxious kids before bedtime (Sleepy Spray) and repelling imaginary monsters (Scary Spray).

    "We started making the Sassy Spray at home for our own toddlers, and it worked wonders," says Siglin of the brand hero. An oral disciplinary spray (think soap in the mouth modernized), Sassy Spray is formulated with a blend of apple cider vinegar and VitaVeggies to "keep the sassies away."

    "Many parents have told us they've used it to successfully help children stop biting, talking back, throwing fits — you name it," adds Romo. "We began talking about how great it would be if we could add vitamins — and that's how Hawk+Sloane all started."

    Developed with help from Siglin's pediatrician, all six sprays are primarily formulated with natural ingredients and essential oils. The Soothie Spray, a bestseller, contains micronized silver, known for its antimicrobial properties.

    "We're literally obsessed with this one," says Romo. "We have so many testimonials from people who were using very expensive creams to treat diaper rash before finding Soothie Spray."

    Officially launched in April 2016, Hawk+Sloane is already gaining steam. And Siglin and Romo assure us there's more to come.

    "Seeing our visions come to life has been really exciting," says Siglin. And working with your best friend? Just the icing on the cake. "Candice thrives more on the creative side, while I take care of more of the business aspects. But we're both innately hard workers, which makes the partnership easy."

    Sprays start at $9.99 each or can be purchased as a full set for $59.99.

    Eleven Dallas-Fort Worth companies have been named to Fortune’s third annual list of America’s Most Innovative Companies, joining another 14 from the state of Texas.

    The group of 300 companies nationwide was rated based on production innovation, process innovation, and innovation culture, according to Fortune. In partnership with Statista, the magazine considered IP portfolios, employee, expert and customer opinions; and many other factors.

    While many of the top-rated companies fell into the tech sector, Fortune reports that health care companies made up the largest portion of the 2025 list. Sixty-three honorees fell into the health care category.

    Here's which companies headquartered in Dallas-Fort Worth made the list and where they were ranked:

    • No. 37 — AT&T
    • No. 59 — Texas Instruments
    • No. 89 — Charles Schwab
    • No. 91 — McKesson
    • No. 113 — Jacobs Solutions
    • No. 125 — Baylor Scott & White Health
    • No. 165 — Frontier Communications
    • No. 210 — CBRE Group
    • No. 223 — GameStop
    • No. 251 — American Airlines Group
    • No. 271 — Caterpillar

    Dallas-Fort Worth claimed the largest number of Texas companies on the list. Houston was home to the second-most with eight hailing from the Bayou City. Austin is home to only four of the companies on the list, however, companies from the Capital City ranked higher on average, with Oracle, Tesla and Dell Technologies claiming the top three spots for the state. Beloved Texas grocer H-E-B was the one company to represent San Antonio.

    Here's how the other Texas companies fared:

    • No. 6 — Oracle
    • No. 11 — Tesla
    • No. 14 — Dell Technologies
    • No. 35 — Houston Methodist
    • No. 52 — SpaceX
    • No. 54 — ExxonMobil
    • No. 137 — NRG Energy
    • No. 158 — Hewlett-Packard Enterprise
    • No. 169 — BMC Software
    • No. 175 — Texas Children’s Hospital
    • No. 201— H-E-B
    • No. 219 — TTEC Holdings
    • No. 227 — Sysco
    • No. 268 — Chevron

    California-based tech conglomerate Alphabet Inc. topped the list for the third year in a row, and California companies again represented the majority of companies on the list, according to Fortune. Alphabet, Microsoft, Apple, IBM and Salesforce made up the top five, of which three are headquartered in California.

    The 2025 group had a median revenue of $22 billion over the last 12 months, according to Fortune. See the full report here.
